Great night all around. Lori our waitress was fantastic as she's been on past visits. I'd have to think long and hard to recall when we've had a waitress with such positive spirit. The food was excellent as usual. Looking forward to returning soon.

While visiting the Northwoods, we were fortunate to pick Smokey's as one of our dining destinations. In a nutshell, great ambiance, hospitality, and food. We could not have been more pleased. It's definitely a cut above above the typical supper club experience (which we also enjoy).Kid-friendliness: Not a place for kids.

My husband and I went there for our 50th wedding anniversary. First enjoyed a drink in the bar. For dinner we were seated by the fireplace. The dining room was very warm and cozy on a miserable rainy night. We were pleasantly surprised by the lovely cheese spread and crackers appetizer. We ordered the prime rib. Came exactly as we ordered. Our waitress was excellent, as was the young man who kept our water glasses full. All a really class act. Would highly recommend! The entire experience was excellent!

Always Excellent! Great service & perfectly prepared dinners. It has always been a bit pricey; however, worth the drive from Three Lakes, WI.

I loved everything about this place! I had a birthday dinner here and our server— Lori (I think) was incredibly nice and attentive. We began with an appetizer of bacon wrapped scallops and I then had the French onion soup. Prime rib was my entree and it was cooked absolutely perfectly. For drinks I had a gin martini and then a brandy old fashioned with house marinated mushrooms. There was a pianist playing live music around the bar, and all of the guests were happy and the vibe just great. I would come back time and time again.

Our food was good, but unfortunately one of our party got food poisoning that night and into the next day.

We went to Smokeys for our anniversary. We had made a reservation for a Saturday. We arrived early and went to have a drink at the bar and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere. The bartender realized it was our anniversary after she checked our reservation. Once she wished us a Happy Anniversary, the other people at the bar did the same. We all then got to know each other and enjoyed talking with each other. The piano player then came up to us at the bar to say that he recognized us from before. He wanted to play our first dance song from our wedding. It was turning out to be a wonderful evening at Smokeys. The problem came when we were given our bill. My husband had ordered a Manhattan made with Angels Envy. He has ordered this same drink for years in some of the best steak houses all over the country. Imagine our shock when we realized that one Manhattan was $31. My glass of wine was $9. We never could have imagined they would charge that much. I can buy a bottle of Angels for $34. I don't think that I have ever paid more than $18 for a drink in the North Woods. We then asked the bartender if the bill was correct. He looked a little uncomfortable and said " Didn't the other bartender tell you the price before she made it?" We said "No, she did not". That was the end of that. We didn't want to make a big deal about it and ruin the rest of our evening. Unfortunately, it pretty much ruined our dinner. The dinner was very good as it always is. We just still had a bad taste in our mouth. Had we been told the price of the drink, we would have ordered something else. We have gone to Smokeys for our anniversary for the last couple of years and have always been offered a dessert in honor of the occasion. No dessert was offered at our recent visit. I very rarely leave reviews. I had hoped the bartender would have done something in regards to the bill since the other bartender did not let us know the high price of Angels. We don't mind paying for things when we know what we are paying for. Hopefully, they will use this as a learning experience. We didn't have to drive 45 minutes for the experience.

I grew up in the area, but this visit to Smokey's on Saturday, August 12th was a first for most of our family, a party of six. From the moment we stepped in until the very end, our experience was nothing short of excellent. While the food certainly left a lasting impression, it was the remarkable staff that truly made this outing special. We were at Smokey's to celebrate my Dad's 92nd birthday, Kaitlyn, our attentive waitress, showed an exceptional level of care, especially towards my father. It was heartwarming to see her bend down to his eye level, ensuring he could hear and understand every word she said - a gesture that is increasingly rare in today's fast-paced world. And all of this was delivered with a genuine and warm smile that radiated. Another surprise was the appearance of another waitress, Lori, an old family friend, who took the time to stop by our table for a brief chat. Her familiarity and genuine interest added a personal touch. To Kaitlyn and Lori, we extend our heartfelt gratitude. The food was delicious, but your exceptional service and the attention you gave to my father on his special day will forever be cherished.
